Roofing help wanted: Mohit's home in Mumbai
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Mumbai?
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,660 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Mumbai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $580, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Paris.
Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 19 people at work. Take care!
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Love from Houston!
Sending love, Mohit. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Mohit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Sacramento.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
